Bangladesh: Ready to help civil administration in national polls, Army chief

DHAKA, 21 January 2022, (TON): Chief of Army Staff General SM Shafiuddin Ahmed said the Bangladesh Army would cooperate if the civil administration called for any needs, including elections.

He was speaking after taking part in a session on the third day of the DCs’ conference at the Osmani auditorium of the capital.

This is for the first time in recent years that the heads of the Army, Navy and Air force have joined the DCs’ conference.

General Shafiuddin said “the goal of making Bangladesh a ‘Sonar Bangla’ cannot be achieved without working closely with the civil administration. Therefore, I have proposed a reduction in the gap between the civil administration and the army as much as possible.”

The army chief said “assistance from the civil civilian administration was important in carrying out the duties of the military.”
